Publisher's summary

The first thing you will notice when you meet Kechi Okwuchi is her scars. One of just two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed more than 100 people, 16-year-old Kechi was left with third-degree burns over 65 percent of her body. More than My Scars is her incredible story. A story of not just surviving impossible odds but thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside rather than seeing that our true value is within.

Now in her early 30s, Kechi has spent the last 16 years refusing to be defined by her trauma. Follow her as she decides for herself what role her scars will play in her life before society decides for her. Her strong sense of identity, rooted in seeing herself the way God sees her, has allowed her to live authentically in a world that constantly seeks to define us by its ever-changing (and ever-shallow) standards. Kechi's story will inspire you to love and accept yourself as you are and confidently present your true self to the world.

Touching Storyline

I loved this storyline of how Kechi sees herself after recovery from burn, it really motivate anyone who passed through any bad experience, who feels like their world collapsed on their feet. it is a true story shows one can choose to leave positively beyond the circumstances. I like the fact that the life of Kechi never stops because of experience. The burning experience was another form of jungle which Kechi had to fight and at the end she was rewarded with more drive and resistance beyond measure.furthermore her spirit was fueled up with more life courage and she started having a personal encounter with God.No matter how hard it was she never throw the towel but she continued persuading her career, and nothing was coming to herlife on the silver platter, She worked hard even though she was still in the recovery process and show up when needed too. I was also impressed by the AGT performances, in the beginning it was not promising but with her perseverance she brake her own record and recieved a golden buzzer. Kechi also have a strong family support system applause to them,they support and also let her be on her own, decide for herself. indeed she is brave.❤ the narrator matches of my favourite writer chimamanda ngozi adiche, not bored by this book.

More than my scars

Very sad situation that was turned into a true testament for the love that God has for us and the faith that Kechi has. Kechi has shared something wonderful with her readers. God bless her and may her story give hope to those who have none.

A Mind Changer!

This book really had me looking at the trials of my life in a different mindset. If Kechi can endure what she went through, then surely I can get through my meager trials. This book inspired me to push on in hard times. Her story of triumph is 100% a mind changer. 💯
